contents Within the possible least uncertainty on the nuclear incompressibility $K_{0}$, we examine effects of $K_{0}$ in heavy-ion collisions at intermediate energies. Based on simulations of Au + Au collision at 400 MeV/nucleon using an isospin- and momentum-dependent transport model, we find that the incompressibility $K_{0}$ indeed affects significantly the attainable density in central regions, and thus the particle productions and/or distributions at final states, e.g., nucleon rapidity distributions and yields of charged pions. Nevertheless, through examining the free neutron over proton ratios $n/p$, the neutron-proton differential transverse and directed flows as well as the charged pion ratio $π^{-}/π^{+}$ and its kinetic energy distribution, we find that these observables are less affected by the uncertainty of $K_{0}$, but mainly sensitive to the slope of symmetry energy at the saturation density. We also compare and discuss our results with the corresponding data.
